Robert has been working on my cars for over 10 years, and I would never look elsewhere. He has helped me in so many ways it's hard to keep track, and always is looking for ways to get the job done better, for less! I trust him to do any repair or service, and to let me know when NOT to get something done.

I called their phone number to get a quote on a 2006 VW GTI intake valve cleaning. I'm not sure who picked up, it could've been Robert who has been referenced in the reviews. Whoever answered asked me when I wanted to come in, but it can't be too soon because they were busy working on some expensive car (I forget the make). Cool, that's okay I guess. I don't care that you are busy working on a high end vehicle. When we continue talking about the quote, he proceeds to go fishing with me. First he throws out that it'll be about *two grand* since he'll have to take the get to the intake manifold, take it off, clean the intake valves, replace the intake manifold gasket, blah blah... Which is all true. I start thinking that this guy is ridiculous. Every other quote I've gotten from European car specialist shops, which are also recommended on Yelp and Reddit, at this point prices this service at $650-$800. I tell him that. He estimates the gasket at $50 looks it up, and it's $20. That is honest, yup. And then he concludes in a minute or so that yup the service will be about $600-$700.... I have this shaking suspicion that if I didn't counter, he'd gladly charge $2000 for this job. Suffice it to say I did not bite and will never approach him as a customer. Buyer do your research before you visit this guy. I honestly don't understand how this guy could've earned all these glowing 5* star reviews here.

Robert is really a nice and honest guy! He has been taking good care of my BMW since 2012. 8 years. He is the guy I trust. Period.

Roberts is one of those rare finds: someone who knows his trade inside and out. He's one of the more honest people I've ever met. He insists on making sure you know the issues with your car and takes the time to explain. He's also really great at helping you prioritize repairs if you have an older car that needs constant maintenance. Realistic estimates on time to complete work and very fair in his pricing. Highly recommend.

I'm glad I found this place. Robert helped me repair my car with reasonable price and outstanding service. He's super nice and he knows German cars well. I will definitely come back.

Robert is amazing. He's conscientious, a good communicator, honest, and thorough. He diagnosed my coolant issue in front of me, explained everything that was going on, and fixed it on the spot. A consummate professional. I'll never go anywhere else.

Robert is the BEST! We've been using his services for over 8 years now. We have tried other shops after we moved farther away, but we returned back to his shop after a few tries at these other places. As other reviewers have said there is not a more honest, fair, and professional mechanic! He is just an all around good person, If you own a car or truck that he can fix, I wouldn't go anywhere else.

Robert was helpful and knowledgeable. Unfortunately they only work on German cars so not quite a one-stop-shop if you've got a diverse garage.

So helpful! I called to get an estimate for brake fluid flush ($130 to $150, which is about same / a little lower than comps in the area) and Robert pointed out that, since my oil change is coming up, I should just bundle the two to save money and time. Makes sense that they want to be efficient too and that they're not needing to pad their books with redundant service appointments. Will follow-up after a few hundred more miles :)

Robert is the kind of mechanic that you spend a lifetime looking for and once you find him you don't want to share him! He knows german cars inside and out and I'm not kidding you. He's like a brain surgeon for a car. If you tell him how your car is acting he'll already have it diagnosed when you bring your car in. He is honest, reliable and is a no longer a hidden gem because he's just tooooo good!
